The 1/2' Hammer Driver - Drill has variable 2 - speed settings (0 - 550 & 0 - 1,800 RPM; 0 - 8,250 & 0 - 27,000 BPM). With its brushless motor, it can deliver 970 in.lbs. of Max Torque, which is up to 70% more power compared to XPH12, and it only weighs 4.9 lbs. with the battery. This makes it perfect for a wide variety of applications. The Impact Driver comes with a 3 - speed power selection switch (0 - 1,100 / 0 - 2,100 / 0 - 3,600 RPM & 0 - 1,100 / 0 - 2,600 / 0 - 3,800 IPM). It can deliver 1,550 in.lbs. of Max Torque and weighs just 3.3 lbs. with the battery. Its Quick - Shift Mode™ uses the brushless motor’s electronic controls to find the best balance of speed and torque for each task, ensuring efficient fastening. The Tightening Mode (T - mode) helps prevent damage to screws and workpieces. Both tools are equipped with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), providing better dust and water resistance in tough job site conditions. The 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion batteries, including the 4.0Ah and 2.0Ah ones, have an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator. The 4.0Ah battery offers up to 35% more run - time per charge. The STAR Protection Computer Controls™ protect the tool and battery from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. All tools, batteries, and chargers come with a 3 - year limited warranty. Remember to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. These batteries are part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium - ion slide - style batteries, offering fast charge times and high versatility.
Using the Makita 18V LXT 2 - Piece Combo Kit is a breeze. First, make sure your battery is fully charged. You can check the charge level using the L.E.D. indicator on the battery. For the Hammer Driver - Drill, select the appropriate speed based on your task. The lower speed is great for heavy - duty drilling and driving, while the higher speed is better for lighter tasks. When using the Impact Driver, choose the right speed mode. The Quick - Shift Mode will automatically adjust the speed and torque for efficient fastening. The Tightening Mode is useful when you're working with self - drilling screws to avoid damage. Remember, these tools are designed for use in harsh conditions, but try to keep them away from excessive dust and water as much as possible. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to protect the tool from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. After each use, clean the tools with a dry cloth. If they get dirty, you can use a mild cleaner. Store the tools in the provided tool bag in a dry place. The tools, batteries, and chargers come with a 3 - year limited warranty, so keep your purchase receipt handy. If you have any problems, contact Makita's customer service.
